smallest keg you can buy

[gx37987]

I want to do some experimenting with some of my ciders and only want to do small batches but I want to force carbonate them so I wondering what is the smallest keg I could buy, I’m already setup for a ball lock style corny keg.

William's Brewing has a 1.75 gallon ball lock keg made in China.

I just looked into it and it looks great for what i'm doing, does any one know if they ship to Ontario Canada.

If you're just experimenting, you could get the carbonator cap and do 2 litre batches

This. And a spent 2-liter bottle, snap the gas on there, shake the hell out of it.

Agreed. Far cheaper, and you can use it to keep your soda/soda water carbonated.

That does sound better and more economical then buying a mini keg. Plus I could bring it camping. Thanks I have to check out my LHBS to see if they carry it.

Cool, I didn't know the SS ones even existed. I think it's about the same $ as the plastic ones, too!

As mentioned, most recommend the stainless one.
However.........It's advised to take an empty 2 liter bottle with ya' if you are going to purchase one off the shelf, and check how it threads onto the bottle.
Some have had "screwy" threads, but I don't know the manufacturer.
